We had three great bands all competing for the prestigiousness that comes with being the RiO! Band of the Month for September. In the end, however, only one could lay claim to that most lofty title and they are American Fangs from Houston, TX. Trashy, garage-rock is the name of their game with their song, "Le Kick," leading the way. Screaming vocals, a rousing chorus and super-distorted guitar lines can easily allow you to visualize the mosh pit taking place in a basement with stone walls with that one [...]

Our Band of the Week comes to us from Houston, Texas but these dudes aren't any type of cowboys...because they'd technically be Texans fans right? I mean, isn't it a crime for someone from Houston to be a Cowboys fan? Even back when their team was the Oilers? OK, now I'm ranting. Guys, make some noise for American Fangs.

This is an interesting weekend festival taking place August 8-9 in Elanor Tinsley Park in Houston, TX, featuring Of Montreal, Broken Social Scene, What Made Milwaukee Famous and Explosions in the Sky, among others. Lineup looks cool, but Houston in August is literally the worst place on the entire earth outside of an active war zone. But, tickets are super cheap ($12 for the weekend?!) so it's a tradeoff. Get tickets here and find the lineup after the jump. Broken Social Scene Explosions in the Sky [...]
